Isn't this (also) dependent on the new site? -- JanClaeys
 Yes, the future of the support point map (as I see it) is dependent on the new site. This is something that we should discuss at the meeting. -- PierreBuyle

== Session Gobby Log ==

=== Support points map ===
 * Current version
  * has lot management time cost
  * currently not easy to assist by new persons (php server install, get right framework version running with patches,..)
 * New version prepared by Pierre (Drupal,.)
 * looking for a project leader (now Mark does a lot).

=== Possible goals ===
 * integrate map in ubuntusite
 * work together with other maps (.nl, .be, .de, some in .us)
  * maybe other groups have a system based on Drupal?
  * What about sharing the map-data with other groups?
   * To prevent that:
     * persons living near border areas having to look in different maps
     * persons living near border areas showing their support-info on different maps)
   * i.e: a user lives near .nl,.de ad .be: Make it easier to add this user to all three maps?
   * so: possibility to tick a checkbox which ports the data to the other maps' databases? (which then exports records to other maps' databases)
   * Or just inform the user that he can also register on the other maps with links.
   * Pierre: 'what about layer both maps' data on 1 map?' (this would solve the whole issue)
 * Recycable system / integratable / shareable by other groups?
 * Simple
 * Low requirements on the server
 * Hostable by Cannonical (possible if you use Drupal)
 * OpenID integration
 * Database cleanup:
   * cleanup database once before LTS-release
   * cleanup database again after drupal/launchpad integration
   * remark: setup a communication-text for first cleanup-work to:
             - inform persons what the steps are
             - so persons know that there will be a second account
                 confirmation in a month or three from now.

=== Advantages of doing in Drupal ===
 * Same login as launchpad (OpenID)
 * There's Drupal knowledge in house (Luc,.. and easy to learn)

=== Functionalities ===
 * Some kind of account renewal to prevent not-contactable contact persons?

=== Support point map needs ===
 * a project leader
 * somebody to clean the current DB from obsolete accounts (require manual SQL):
  * stephan
 * People willing to help (code) the support point map (need Drupal/Javascript experience):
  * DavidSniper
  * PieterVerledens
  * PierreBuyle
